Cogmed Working Memory TrainingTM is an evidence-based computer program for helping children, adolescents, and adults sustainably improve attention by training their working memory.
Working memory involves keeping information in your mind for a short time, focusing on a task and remembering what to do next. We use working memory almost constantly in daily life. Working memory is a pathway to several other mental skills, such as memory, concentration, and reasoning.

- Initial interview
- Start-up session
- Five weeks of computer training with weekly coach calls
- Wrap-up meeting
- Six month follow-up interview
